I thought tail recursion was actually not possible on the JVM but saw
a talk on the Erlang VM yesterday and Robert Virding mentioned that
Erjang managed to do it.

I'm sure the core guys have seen it but just in case others thought
the same as me here are a few links:

https://github.com/trifork/erjang/wiki/How-Erjang-compiles-tail-recursion

If someone could comment briefly on why one would not want to do this
in clojure too that would be nice.
